This intermediate weight lifting routine is focused upon an individual who wants to step up their workout, move forward from beginner style routines and start lifting heavier weights and performing exercises that target muscle growth.
It is a 4 day split that has you workout 2 days followed by rest and then working out another 2 days and another 2 days of rest.
Rest is key when performing this routine as you want to give your muscles enough time to recuperate from both workout days and stimulate proper muscle growth.
**** Note : You are able to mix in cardio within any of the rest days if you feel it is needed within your routine.
